Ancarta won't be running a Black Friday or Cyber Monday sale this year. Our prices on 27 and 30 November will be the same as in any other week, and there's no Boxing Day sale to follow. It's our second November without one, and we're glad of it.
Why we sit it out
We release limited collections and make each colour in small runs. Big seasonal sales mostly exist to clear a lot of stock in a hurry, and that isn't how we work. We'd rather not mark everything down for one weekend, so nobody who bought from us in October paid more than someone who waited.
That's a choice about our own business, not a comment on anyone who loves a good sale.
The Organic Cotton collection
Our Organic Cotton collection is four relaxed pieces made from organic cotton, in sizes 2XS to 3XL.
| Piece | Colours | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Relaxed Hoodie | Pink Marshmallow, Chocolate | A$149 |
| Relaxed Joggers | Pink Marshmallow, Chocolate | A$119 |
| Relaxed Shorts | Pink Marshmallow, Chocolate, Ocean, Black | A$85 |
| Relaxed Tee | Pink, Coffee, Black, Ocean | A$72 |
The hoodie has dropped shoulders and a towel-embroidered logo. The joggers and shorts have an elastic waist with a drawcord, and side and back pockets. Softness is what reviewers mention most.
It's made for the hours around training: walks, travel days, rest days, and the trip to and from the studio.
Why it took seven months
The first samples arrived in late October 2025, and the collection went on sale at the end of May 2026. Most of that time went into samples, and we sent pieces back until they were right. After try-ons, the tee's neckline was reworked into a softer, stretchier rib, and the joggers and shorts were reshaped with a tapered leg. We also bought the fabric before production began, so the finished colours match the samples we approved.
When a collection takes that long to get right, there's no reason to rush it out the door at the end of the year.
More organic cotton on the way
New organic cotton pieces are in sampling now, in new shapes and colours. They're going through the same process: try-ons, changes, and our approval before anything is made in quantity.
Our own performance fabric
Cotton is the right fibre for rest days, not for a hard session. So we're also developing our own performance fabric for our training pieces. It has to stay opaque when it stretches, hold its shape through a long session and stay smooth instead of pilling. We'll launch it only when samples meet that standard, and when we do, we'll tell you exactly what it's made of.
What to look forward to
- New organic cotton pieces, shown here and on Instagram at @ancarta.co first.
- Our own performance fabric, with its make-up published at launch.
- The same prices on 27 November as on the 26th.
